Play in the outdoors has the potential to have a large and important role in a child's physical, social and cognitive development, it is also not reserved solely for children, the co-location centre is a resource for all the family and community.

The Listening to Birstall, Nova and Fieldhead, programme highlighted community concerns around a lack of access to play facilities. Using the Colocation centre, we hope to deliver a play space targeting younger children, and families. Existing play equipment will be removed, along with storage containers which will enhance the overall space available. Children from Fieldhead school, will help shape the design through a school consultation programme. Community engagement will allow the local community to feedback on the overall plan etc.
